--------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Conduit Update README November 2, 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1998 3Com Corporation and its subsidiaries This README file contains important information about this update release. It is not a complete version of WorkPad Desktop software and only updates the Email HotSync conduit. PURPOSE ======= This update is intended for current WorkPad Desktop software v3.0 users who have experienced problems with Email HotSync. This update corrects a situation where the HotSync process will fail while trying to synchronize email messages with a very large number of recipients. The exact number of email recipients that will trigger the problem depends on the mail system being used. This update replaces the Email conduit file on the desktop. The new email conduit will correctly detect those email messages with a significant number of recipients. In these cases, the message "(The content of this field was too large. The entire e-mail is available in your E-Mail application.)" will be transferred to the WorkPad organizer in place of the distribution list itself. Usage Note: When reading email messages on the WorkPad organizer, the message headers are normally not displayed. To show them, tap on the Show Header icon in the upper-right corner. This will show all of the message recipients. VERSION CHECK ============= To verify if the updated email conduit file is installed, do the following: 1. Using Explorer, go to the WorkPad directory (normally "c:\WorkPad" or "c:\Pilot"). 2. Find and select the Mail20.dll file. 3. Right-click and select Properties. 4. Select the General and Version tabs to confirm the version: Modified Date File Version ---------------------- ------------ Original 2/26/1998 3:00:00 pm 3.0.0 Corrected 11/ 2/1998 3:01:00 pm 3.0.2 INSTALLATION ============ After downloading the update file (emailupd.exe) from the web, do the following: - Close the WorkPad Desktop software if running. - Close HotSync software if running. - Using Windows Explorer, locate the directory where the emailupd.exe file is stored (normally c:\Temp). - Double-click on emailupd.exe to extract the file into the c:\drivers\w9x\workpad directory. - Find the directory that contains the WorkPad Desktop.
